Hi all, i am currently buying new parts for my pc.
Firstly, i have an i3 3240 cpu, 4gb RAM (NO GPU).
I am thinking of upgrading to 8gb of ram, getting a 500w power supply and getting a gtx 960 or 950.
Questions: What is best 960 to buy? I think this one - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The power supply i am looking to buy is this one - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Are these the best options and will these parts be ok together?
Also will i need a certain motherboard for it?
Thanks :]

What's your total budget for upgrades and what is your case?
GTX 950 makes 0 sense.

Instead of getting a 960 i would suggest getting the rx 480 it is a little more expensive but it will be worth it
Edit: ya i made a mistake oops
If you want to stick with nividia then the 960 is a ok card still wouldn't buy one tho you won't have any bottlenecks i would suggest this one but thats just my personal preference

No 960 is the best 960 to buy, they all suck. If you want an NVidia GPU, wait another 12 days for the GTX 1060 to launch. Otherwise, get an RX 480 or wait about a week for an RX 470. RX 470 will out--perform a GTX 960 for lower price.
That PSU is not good.
We can't help you without a budget and currency. We'll also need to know your current specs, including the make and model of both your case, and PSU.
No, it won't.
